We’re excited to announce the release of Astroid Framework 3.3.13. This update focuses on improving menu usability, touch-device compatibility, and overall UI/UX, while also introducing new layout features and updating several core libraries.

Our team has also addressed a number of issues related to Mega Menu behavior, accessibility attributes, and GSAP integration, ensuring a smoother experience across devices.

Highlights

Better Mega Menu Experience on Touch Devices

Navigation on touch screens has been significantly improved. Several issues affecting menu interaction have been resolved, including problems where users could not click top-level menu links or select submenu items. The Mega Menu logic has also been refined to provide a more intuitive experience for mobile and tablet users.

Improved Accessibility and Menu Behavior

We fixed broken ARIA attributes in submenu elements to improve accessibility and standards compliance. Additionally, the submenu interface has been refined to enhance usability and prevent unexpected behavior when submenu content is empty.

New Layout Controls

A new Section Height and Column Height feature has been added, giving developers more flexibility when designing layouts and controlling vertical alignment within sections.

More Control Over Animations

A new option allows developers to enable or disable the Stagger animation effect, providing greater control over animation performance and visual style.
